Why we take regular pregnancy tests with irregular periods

We've always had irregular periods. That means every month we panic when our periods doesn't show up exactly 28 after our last one. And did you know that stress can make your period late? That's right, late period stress means an even later period. We started testing every month or so and now we never worry about our periods being a few days late.
